Metroid Prime Hunters

The Hunt is on ...

Who is the Galaxy's Most Elite Bounty Hunter? Before Metroid Prime
Hunters, the answer was easy. Now that six other ferocious bounty
hunters have gathered to challenge Samus, the title is up for grabs.
Metroid Prime Hunters delivers the most intense first-person multiplayer
action ever experienced on a hand-held system, and with Nintendo Wi-Fi
Connection you can test your skills against players from around the
world.

you'll always have a pool of hunters waiting to challenge your skills.

A Multiplayer Masterpiece

Metroid Prime Hunters delivers an engaging single-player experience, but
without a doubt it's the multiplayer arena where Hunters shines. The
game features seven multiplayer modes of play, over 20 battle arenas,
and seven bounty hunters to choose from, each with a unique alternate
form and special weapon.

Four players can compete using just one game card, and additional
features and modes of play become available if each player has his or
her own copy of the game. With Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can put
your skills to the test against other players from around the world. You
might be able to school your little brother, but how will you stack up
against the globe's elite bounty hunters?

Multiplayer Modes

Here is a quick overview of the seven modes of play in Metroid Prime
Hunters, available in both local and online play.

Battle -- Anything goes in Battle Mode, where your goal is to eliminate
your opponents in a timed deathmatch. Rack up more kills than your
competitors to score a victory.

Survival -- In Survival Mode, you begin the game with a limited number
of lives. The goal is simple -- drain your enemies' stock of lives
before your own runs out and be the last hunter standing.

Bounty -- Fight for the possession of an Octolith and be the first
hunter to deliver it to the drop point to succeed in Bounty Mode. This
is pure bounty hunting at its finest.

Defender -- Defender is how bounty hunters play King of the Hill. Secure
the designated area and accumulate points while you are the only hunter
to occupy it.

Prime Hunter -- Gain the coveted enhanced powers of the Prime Hunter,
and see how long you can keep them while the competition tries to end
your reign. Keep Prime Hunter status the longest to win.

Capture -- Your goal in Capture Mode is to raid the enemy team's
territory and steal their precious Octolith. Score when both Octoliths
are safe at your base.

Nodes -- Explore the arena to find Node Rings, and earn points while
they are under your control. The hunter who reaches the point goal first
will win the match.

Adventure Mode

In the single-player Adventure Mode, Samus embarks on a quest to find
powerful relics left behind by an ancient warrior culture. But Samus
isn't the only bounty hunter on this mission. Along the way, she'll have
to fight off the galaxy's most elite hunters who hope to harness the
power for themselves.

Hone your skills and unlock bounty hunters for use in Multiplayer Mode
by completing the single-player adventure.

Explore multiple stages collecting Octoliths, and prevent other bounty
hunters from stealing them along the way.

Each of the seven bounty hunters in Metroid Prime Hunters has a unique
alternate form and special weapon. Which hunter will be your favorite?

Samus -- Samus Aran is well-known throughout the galaxy as an efficient
and experienced bounty hunter. Few other hunters can compete with
Samus's long history of successful missions, most of which were carried
out against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Trace -- Trace is a Kriken, one of the most hated and feared races in
the galaxy. Every Kriken, when he reaches a certain age, is exiled by
its clan for a rite of passage. Trace is currently in exile, traveling
the galaxy looking for planets to expand the Kriken empire.

Noxus -- Noxus is a member of the Vhozon, a proud and reclusive race
that inhabit the outer rim of the galaxy. A spiritual being who walks a
harsh, righteous path, Noxus has become a Bounty Hunter to administer
justice to the galaxy’s criminals and evildoers.

Spire -- Spire is thought to be the sole remaining Diamont, an ancient
race of silicon-based lifeforms whose bodies are composed of organic
rock. Spire travels the galaxy as a bounty hunter searching for
information on the location, or fate, of the rest of his people.

Sylux -- Little is known about the mysterious bounty hunter known as
Sylux, other than the fact that Sylux harbors an intense hatred for the
Galactic Federation and the bounty hunter who has helped the Federation
time and time again -- Samus Aran.

Weavel -- Once a powerful Space Pirate General, Weavel was critically
wounded during an altercation between the Space Pirates and Samus Aran.
With just his brain and spinal cord still functional, his body was fused
with a mobile life support system.

Kanden -- A lab experiment gone awry, Kanden was created to be the
ultimate soldier. However, stress from the neural combat encoding
sequences was more than Kanden’s still-mortal brain could handle, and
left him ferocious, deadly and dangerously unpredictable.
